On a sheet pan, toss cauliflower with oil (portion for cauliflower), chopped kimchi, and some salt and pepper. Roast cauliflower, shaking the pan halfway through cooking, until golden and tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
When cauliflower is about halfway finished roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add first portion of cooking oil (for chicken) and then spinach. Saute until spinach wilts (add a lid to help speed it along), 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, toasted sesame oil (portion for chicken), and sesame seeds. Set cooked spinach aside and return pan to heat.
To heated pan, add second portion of cooking oil (for chicken) and then chicken to heated oil (discard marinade). Sear chicken on both sides, seasoning with some salt as it cooks, until cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes total.
Serve chicken over wilted spinach with green onions and spicy mayo on top. Enjoy roasted cauliflower on the side.
